There is a single list of products subject to mandatory conformity confirmation in the Customs Union. Also, each Regulation contains lists of products, which mandatory conformity confirmation is carried out in the form of a certificate, and product which conformity is to be confirmed in the form of a declaration
The process of the declaration issuance is relatively simple: The declarant declares that the product complies with the requirements; the certification body verifies and registers the declaration. Data on the registered declaration is placed in the Unified Certification Register. The declaration bears the seal of the declarant and information about the manufacturer.
The process of obtaining a certificate provides, in general, the tests and possibly the production audit (1-2 experts become acquainted with the organization of production and quality management system). After this, the certification authority prints the certificate and assures it with the seal.
Thus, the certification body takes on more responsibility. Data on the certification is entered in the Unified Certification Register.
